The question

If a Muslim has a dream and interprets it with a bad interpretation from Ibn Sirin's book, then asks a specialized scholar who interprets it for him with a different interpretation, will the interpretation come to pass according to what is in Ibn Sirin's book or according to what the interpreter said, after the will of Allah?

The answer

The book on dream interpretation attributed to Ibn Sirin is not authentically his, and it should not be relied upon for interpreting visions. The interpretation of visions varies according to individuals, circumstances, and times, and it cannot be done merely by consulting a book, because this is a complex science. Furthermore, a vision does not necessarily materialize according to what any person interprets it to be; rather, it materializes if the interpreter is knowledgeable and correct in their interpretation. A vision is not for the first interpreter it encounters, unless they interpret its true meaning correctly.
